THE SWAN
See the swan go
In his jacket of snow,
An island of white
In a lake of delight.
In his jacket of snow,
An island of white
In a lake of delight.
See the swan swim,
When I scatter for him
The half of my cake
On the top of the lake.
When I scatter for him
The half of my cake
On the top of the lake.
See the swan glide
To the bank's rushy side,
So suddenly fleet
By the strokes of his feet.
To the bank's rushy side,
So suddenly fleet
By the strokes of his feet.
96
See the swan lie
In the blue of the sky;
And under his breast
Another at rest!
In the blue of the sky;
And under his breast
Another at rest!
